Christmas Lights Domino

I made 6 christmas dominos. This is what I have left lol It's not perfect but I am quite pleased with the results. I used Anitas stuff just on the lights so they are 3D I need a bit of practice getting the gloss to the edge of the stamping so I may end up with a full set of christmas lights dominoes.

Cat Domino

Another domino I have altered this time I used Stazon. ARGH! it really does stay on. My son helped me make this discovery. As I went in to the kitchen to find him wearing his cheekiest smile & holding my stamp in one hand the Stazon lid in another happily stamping my domino's and side. SO helpful my son lol.




This time I coloured it with chalks and made an animal domino from a normal domino. It is now winging it's way to an Aunties member...but which one??????

Wee or Pooh

All meals in my house are eaten at the table except that is for breakfast. DH eats his on the go and I rarely have any and if I do that would be on the go too. The kids are allowed to eat theirs in front of the telly. The house is to busy to be any other way. This morning while eating their breakfast a row erupted over a Barbie advert. Have you seen there is a barbie that has a cat or dog that wee's or pooh's!!! Well my son (2) announces "eugh pooh". My daughter (5) shouted back it's not pooh it's wee. (That makes all the difference)
"pooh"
"wee"
"pooh"
"wee"
They end up nose to nose "Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" "Poooooooooooooooooooh!"
Arrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhhhh
So glad the neighbours are on holiday LOL

Altered Dominos

I have been introduce to the world of altered domino's and I love it. Once upon time I didn't 'get it' (you will soon learn as I ramble on I don't 'get' lots of things lol) but I was convinced it was a good idea over on Aunty's and now I find myself thinking about domino's more than I really should. I have lots of ideas running around my head and not enough time to put them into practice.

The challenge was set to alter 3 domino's and this is what I came up with ...



I stamped the butterfly image a Cherry Pie Stamp onto tissue paper coloured it with twinkling h2o's. Actually that's not true I used the cheap imitation ones from the works. I have never tried the real ones, I am probably missing out on something but as they say ignorance is bliss!
hmmm where was I? domino's .... I attached the tissue with spray adhesive then glossed them with Anita's sticky gloppy glossy stuff.
These are destined for Jan so I hope she doesn't see this before they reach her lol

A Beaded Bracelet

This is something totally different for me. I love beads and after joining a beading forum I felt inspied so armed with headpins, eyepins, a draw of pink beads, a draw of green beads and a bit of chain I started to create. This is what evolved. I feel quite proud of the dangys made fron scratch. I know my loops & wraps need some work but I am happy to practice.

Why am I blogging?

Why am I sitting here doing this? I am jumping on the band waggon.
That's it no more no less. Everyone seems to have a blog and I think I may be missing something.
I did the same with myspace. Everyone seemed to be myspaceing so I did it too. It's still there but to be honest I never did 'get it' I think I must be getting old.
I think I get blogging a bit more. I can talk to myself quite happily It doesn't matter who is (or more likely who isn't) listening.
At this point I have no idea what my blog will be about but then this could go on for years and no one will still have a clue what I am going on about lol.
Suppose I should tell you who I am. I'm Storm. I'm a crafter. I'm a mum. I spend far to much time on forums. Some I lurk at. Some I post occasionally. Some ... no 1 ... I post on all day everyday. There is more to me than that but I can't tell you everything on my first post. These are the things I am most likely to chat about so that will do for now.
Soon I will get some pics of my crafty wares to show you. If you would sign my guest book I would make me feel loved. If you would leave a comment I won't feel so lonely.
